Porta do Soar or Two Arch Melo

La Porta do Soar (Sonar door), also known as Arco dos Melos (Arch of the Melos) is one of the gates in the wall that has protected the city since medieval times from invasion of all kinds of marauding hordes (of the 7 gates, we visited it and Knights Gate). This Monument is the door with an inscription mentioning that it was built by Alfonso V in 1472. It also contains the shield of Portugal, and a small niche with the image of San Francisco. Walking through the door, on the other side is the Plaza del Pintor Gata, wherein lies the impressive Chapel of Our Lady of the Remedies.
